Hello  all
Anyone know how to get hold of Howard Hazelcorn? I had his email  address 
when he bought some items from me but I can't find it now. I am  thinking he 
is my last hope of getting the linkages on this Columbia grafonola  correct. 
This is the one where the on/off mech, the speed control and a  strange 
looking intermediate link are not correctly set, so that none of them  work.
This model is the only table model made after 1924, but there were  several 
uprights, all of which had a sort of pyramidal lid and some had two  
compartments on the back with doors over them. I have heard they were for  
storing 
booze during Prohibition.
Any leads, as always, greatly  appreciated.
Thanks
John  Robles

There has been an issue with trading in the parking lot on the Thursday 
before the show in the past.  That has expanded to exhibitors trading 
just about anywhere on Thursday if its officially organized.


I am reasonably certain that there will be more info flowing forth on 
this topic.

I see. Certainly if some folks are using the parking lot, that would be a 
problem. But if they are at the Hess Gas Station down the Street, or have 
rented some space at some ball field, then what's the problem ?? Certainly 
nothing wrong with that. Why should someone claim a monopoly on the whole area 
just based on tradition.

These folks have spent 30+ years building Union from a couple circus 
tents to what it is today. They've served the sellers magnificently and 
have every right to preserve the integrity of the show for the buyers.  
To start something extra the day before the main event is selfish, 
greedy AND unethical!  And ANYONE who does so should be blackballed by 
the Donley's as well as by sellers and buyers!!  If another show is 
needed, do it the week-end before or after and let the public decide - 
don't rip-off somebody elses efforts.

Re: [Phono-L] union

2010-06-12 Thread Daniel Melvin
I'm at the show and word here is that the pre show was poorly attended  
and many doubt it will occur again. As for the whole story I know a  
few things but not the while story. Isuspectvi know who is behind it  
but I'll leave that to those that can confirm things.  I think  
darrells assessment is very thougtful and right on the money. The show  
should not have and does not deserve a second show as competition.  
It's upsurd. I love the union show and it was large and well attended  
this year. Lots of unsold good deals so far but I suspect last minute  
finished deals will happen Sunday.

Giant Flea Market in Brimfield every year just north of Sturbridge,  
and for a wholeweek the locals have their little offshoots of the  
giant flea market at homes and fields and and whatever open space  
there is throughout the area, but it certainly doesn't keep people  
from visiting the big Brimfield event. It is just part of the free  
enterprise system. Sure these folks are feeding off of the big  
event, but that is life. No one has a monopoly on free enterprise  
and the

 treprenerial spirit. There aren't cops out there, taking down  
license numbers and checking folks out like the FBI and passing  
names along so they can be blackballed by the owners of the big

Re: [Phono-L] Paint on horn

2010-06-12 Thread Andrew Baron
Spot check a small area with the Meguiar's product Ultimate  
Compound.  I've used this on chalky paint with good results.  I don't  
know how it will do with your challenge, but my experience is that it  
doesn't load itself into the paint, like other polishing compounds  
tend to do on aged surfaces that won't otherwise polish.


This product is much milder than DuPont #7 Polishing compound, and  
seems to be smart about removing just the dead pigment; not nearly as  
aggressively as other products.  Still, I'd go slow and stop to  
determine your progress often (assuming it passes the spot test).


This is a pretty amazing product and will work nicely to really shine  
up shellac or lacquer finishes on wood, and just about anything else.   
Leaves no residue, has no waxy stuff or silicone in it.  Might want to  
follow it up with a high quality wax to give it extra protection,  
assuming you get the desired result.  Available from auto parts stores.


If you try this, post your results.

Car polish designed to clean clear-coat should help.  It is very mild and
fine abrasive.  Test it in an inconspicuous spot first, of course such as on
a panel near the bell, opposite the suspension hook.  Use a Q tip.

2010-06-12 Thread Stan Stanford
I'm at Union and am enjoying the Show very much as usual.   Everyone seemed 
to be treated fairly this year as far as I know.   I didn't go to the 
pre-show but heard it was not well attended.   I do admit missing some of 
the parking lot action at Union the day before the Show, but when people 
started moving the parking lot action earlier and earlier until some were 
arriving 3 or more days before the Show it was unmanageable.


I like the Union Show and plan to keep coming.   For me it's as much about 
seeing and greeting old friends as it is about buying and selling.   I feel 
blessed to know and be around such wonderful people from all over the world.
